If My Grandma Had A Blog

My grandmother died in 2005. She did not own a computer. I think she could have mastered some computer skills, but she had plenty of interests and activities and friends to keep her engaged in the world. She wrote things down, not fictional stories but events of her life, both past and present. After she died, I was given the honor of keeping some of her writings. I thought starting a blog with them might be fun. I hope readers will find it enjoyable. Thanks for stopping by.

Pecking order

Fri., November 22, 2002 - A home nurse came again. I had Meals on Wheels today. I called Jean. Mary & kids came this evening -- they brought soup.
Sat., November 23, 2002 - Tom & Merilyn left Sunday a.m. for Laughlin. A home nurse came again. I called Ray. Mary brought noon meal - a beef & vegetable mixture -- very good.
Sun., November 24, 2002 - I baked a pumpkin pie. Nancy came & ironed for me. Tom called from Laughlin to find out how I was. Bill, Jenny & Patty came in p.m. We had pie for lunch.

I wonder how it is Jean got called before Uncle Ray. Maybe she had tried to reach Grandma or something. Her birthday was in May, so it wasn't that.

I wish I could remember more of the fun sayings Jean tossed around often. The only one I recall is "for crying out the window."

Here's the Christensen family. I think Uncle Pete looks rather handsome here. Jean looks waaay to serious for how I remember her.

Not only does Jean look way to serious but Aunt Margaret looks so sad and I remember her as being a happy person and laughed a lot. Uncle Pete does look quite handsome.
